 Permit Flyfishing with the Merkin
Before Del Brown created the Merkin and began to regularly catch some of his 370+ permit on fly, anglers and guides would just take passing shots at the wary fish.
The original Merkin calls for alternating bands of brown and tan yarn, but I like to be creative with both color and amount of each color in the fly.
If you use a round or other shaped Merkin, it will not sink properly and the fish is likely not to eat it or even see it.

 AUE: FAQ excerpt: "merkin"
It actually means "pubic wig" (such wigs are used, apparently, in the theatrical and film worlds as modesty devices in nude scenes).
Then "merkin" was coined afresh to mean "an American", because it sounds a bit like the half-swallowed pronunciation of "American" by some Americans, particularly President Lyndon Johnson; and the fact that it had a "naughty" meaning didn't hurt.
This gets two risque' locutions past the censor at once, since "muff" is another slang term for female genitals or pubic hair (as in "muff-diving" for cunnilingus).

 Articles: My fellow Merkins
Then I looked it up and the full force of the pun hit me. The word actually has a number of senses, all of them sexually-related and, therefore, highly risible to persons of a certain cast of mind.
Such is the shifting and inconsistent nature of vocabulary, at least when the word concerns intimate matters not often spoken of in public nor written down.

Music From Merkin Manor is a strangely interesting album as might be expected from a group of young longhairs playing a combination of psychedelic, country, and hard rock in smalltown Utah in the early 1970s.
The album opens up with "Ruby," a song on which Merkin sound something like the Association on acid singing harmonies that sound slightly off-kilter while being backed by Blue Oyster Cult.
